Circulation and fertility of waters in Concepcion Bay

The spatial and temporal distributions of oxygen, nutrients and pigments in the waters of Concepcion Bay, Chile (36°40′S, 73°01′W) are described for 1978–1979. Analysis of the seasonal fluctuations shows the upwelling of water poor in oxygen and rich in nutrients inside the bay during summer. The upwelled water fertilizes the bay and produces progressive eutrophication, causing mass mortalities, discoloured water and mineralization of organic matter.     

Lower Pleistocene deltaic and marine sediments in boreholes from the central North Sea

Lower Pleistocene sediments recovered in boreholes from the Aberdeen Ground Formation in the central North Sea indicate that the unit was deposited in a delta front to prodelta/shallow, open shelf marine setting. Possible estuarine and clastic nearshore marine deposits have been identified on the western margin of the basin. The delta front sediments consist of interbedded, structureless to laminated sands and muds with organic debris, ferruginous nodules and common soft sediment deformation structures. Sporadic rippled and graded beds, basal scours to beds and starved ripples suggest periodic wave–current reworking. Prodelta/shelf marine sediments are predominantly argillaceous with only occasional thin sand beds and rare phosphatic bands. One exceptionally thick sand body or submarine channel-fill although this remains uncertain. The estuarine/clastic nearshore marine sediments include coarse channel-lag deposits and rippled and laminated subtidal sands. A rich microfossil assemblage recovered from the prodelta/shelf marine sequence indicates that deposition occurred under fluctuating climatic conditions.

文章在简要介绍世博会场址地质条件的基础上，分别分析了场址区流砂、软土和地下水等不良地质现象对工程建设的影响，然后评价了场址区天然地基工程、桩基工程以及地下工程建设的适宜性，为世博会场址区工程建设提供必要的地质依据。     

山东地质环境中砷的分布特征

山东地质环境砷含量一般为(10^-6)：各类岩石4．87～7．89，土壤10．89，水系底泥6．23。根据砷的分布特点。总体上可将山东分为鲁中南-鲁东山地丘陵区、鲁西北-鲁西南平原区2个大的砷的地质环境(背景)区及7个亚区。每个亚区内，山地丘陵区砷的地球化学背景较低，而平原区砷的背景相对高些。但总体上，全省处于正常的和相对比较低的背景，还未发现原生地质环境形成高砷背景对人体危害的案例。     

陕西省能源供给与经济及生态环境协调性分析

作为我国能源供应的战略基地和大西北生态脆弱区,陕西省经济增长和生态环境协调能力关乎国家能源和生态安全,探究陕西省能源供给与经济及生态环境发展(3E)的协调性及关联性具有重要的理论和现实意义。以能源供给为切入点对陕西省3E现状进行定性分析,推断能源供给对陕西省经济增长的结构性支撑作用。选取25个指标构建3E指标体系,运用层次分析、模糊综合评价等方法对各子系统发展水平及各子系统之间协调性进行定量分析。结果表明:(1)陕西省能源供给、经济增长与生态环境间具有较高的协调性;(2)陕西省能源供给、经济增长和生态环境协调关系波动大;(3)能源供给、经济增长和生态环境协调度对能源供给变化具有较高的敏感性。     

从全国水环境数据库看中国水环境状况

以全国水环境数据库的监测记录为第一手资料,以各大流域片为单位,从宏观上介绍了各大流域片的水质总体概况,包括各类水质所占比例、污染水质的超标物类型等,基本反映了我国各大流域在20世纪90年代的水质状况以及水环境的时空变化特征.总的来说,我国的水环境状况不容乐观,水质污染比较严重,尤其是我国北方的流域片.     

Thinking outside the framework: equitable research partnerships for environmental research in Australia

Many environmental science research programmes now adopt community-based philosophies and designs, although there are few applications in Australian Indigenous communities. This research describes the development and testing of a framework of engagement to guide collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians during an environmental sciences research project. That project aimed to assess trepang (sea cucumber) stocks in Aboriginal waters, and determine the commercial harvest potential of the resource to local people. Its objectives were to undertake trepang survey and mapping, integrate Indigenous knowledge about the resource, and model the existing catch data of commercial fishers operating in the region. The framework of engagement developed to guide the research process comprised a goal, research stages, and a number of guiding principles for collaboration, which were constructed from content analysis of available guidelines and literature and from data gathered during expert interviews. Further data were gathered using participant observation, while implementing the trepang research in accordance with this framework of engagement, and these data were analysed to test and evaluate the framework. Findings indicate discursive and reflective approaches such as action research or adaptive management may better facilitate equitable research partnerships for sustainable development.

闽江下游及河口海域水体中悬浮物的分布特征

采用重量法与浊度法对闽江下游及河口海域中的悬浮物进行了研究。通过对悬浮物的调查得出:平水期水体中悬浮物含量为5.67~493.8 mg/L,平均为114.2 mg/L,几乎所有的测站底层悬浮物含量高于表层。从上游向海方向,悬浮物呈增加趋势,高值区出现在琯头到英屿河段的底层,丰水期悬浮物含量为6.9~138.7 mg/L,平均为29.7 mg/L,呈中层 > 底层 > 表层的分布;同时,悬浮物浓度呈渐增之势,没出现悬浮物明显的富集。平水期温度、盐度、浊度断面资料显示,平水期上下层混合较为均匀,没有出现水体分层现象,在河口区有盐楔存在,最大浑浊带出现位置与盐度2~5.5的区域相对应。根据悬浮物的物质来源、水动力环境的分布特征,在调查时段内可将闽江口最大浑浊带划归为"海源——潮致型"。     

页岩气储层的形成条件与储层的地质研究内容

应用沉积学和层序地层学的理论和方法,综合考虑页岩气系统形成的有利条件,结合国内和国外的实例,总结了有利于泥页岩,特别是可作为页岩气储层的富有机质暗色泥页岩形成的时期和沉积环境,认为富有机质暗色泥页岩主要形成在相对海(湖)平面上升时期的海侵(湖侵)体系域,特别是密集段附近的位置;陆相盆地中的湖湾、半深湖—深湖与海相盆地中的半深海—深海盆地、台地边缘深缓坡和半闭塞—闭塞的欠补偿海湾地区是富有机质暗色泥页岩发育的有利地区。通过对美国Barnett等页岩气系统的分析,认为制作暗色泥岩等厚图、TOC等值线图、Ro等值线图、暗色泥岩埋深图等单因素基础地质图件,对其进行叠加综合分析, 对页岩气的勘探具有很好的指导意义。
